Democrats are beginning to worry about President Trump’s 2020 war chest, which is larger than any other sitting president in history at this point in the campaign.

Some strategists believe the eventual Democratic nominee will not be able to compete against the Trump campaign’s and Republican National Committee’s joint fundraising, which combined have $158 million on hand, according to Politico.

The article goes on to state the following:

Trump’s reelection effort has raised about twice as much as former President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign had at this point in the race.

The Politico report states that Democrats are growing increasingly alarmed.

“Already this year, Trump’s campaign operation has spent close to $23 million on TV and digital advertising, more than 10 times the amount that the lone major Democratic super PAC spending against him, Priorities USA, has laid out so far in its online-only spending campaign,” Politico reported.

Politico noted that Democrats are still at least four or five months away from settling on a nominee.

“The resources he has will be put to work anywhere and everywhere that he feels like he can scare up electoral votes, and Democrats will never catch up. It’s just too much money,” said Chris Lippincott, a Texas-based Democratic strategist who ran a super PAC opposing Sen. Ted Cruz last year. “That’s real trouble … I’m not here to curse the dark, but it’s dark.”

Marc Lotter, Director of Strategic Communications for Trump’s 2020 campaign, tweeted a link to the Politico report. He wrote, ” FACT – @realDonaldTrump has nearly twice as much cash on hand — $158 million, between his campaign account and the @GOP — as Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee had at this time in his successful re-election run.”
